Stoke City Fans, Luka and Steve Bentley, never miss a game at the BET365 Stadium and with an Aqualite Outdoor TV screen installed in their garden, they and their friends can keep an eye on all the other teams as well, come rain or shine.

Steve Bentley takes up the story. ”I guess my initial motivation for considering an outdoor TV was quite unusual. My son Luka, who is now 10, has cerebral palsy. His main pleasure in life is watching TV, especially football.

During the summer months, we found ourselves staying inside with Luka, rather than enjoying the garden, and this led me to investigate the possibility of taking a TV outside.

Of course, the main issues with trying to watch a regular TV outside soon became apparent. The shiny screen and limited brightness meant that it was often difficult to see the picture.

I looked at a number of specialist options, including weather proof casings for standard TV’s, and a number of purpose built outdoor screens. Aqualite were the only company with established credibility in this space, who’s products gave me the level of confidence which I was looking for.

The product more than lived up to the hype. It’s always a great talking point, and its perfect for BBQ’s during the football season. Our friends never fail to be impressed; both with the clarity of the picture in daylight, and the fact that the unit permanently resides outside.

I have made use of complimentary technology with my outdoor TV installation, which includes a wireless HDMI transmitter and receiver, and a wireless solar-powered speaker. It’s a great combination, which allows me to stream content from a Sky or Virgin box, and output the audio to the area where guests are sitting.

I have to admit that I was a little sceptical regarding the units durability, especially during the first winter, which was a harsh one, with considerable amounts of snow.

Also, living in the North West, rain is never far away. I needn’t have worried. Come the spring time, I switched on the Aqualite TV and it functioned perfectly. That was four years ago, and it has survived every winter since.

I consider the Aqualite TV to be one the best purchases I have ever made, and of course Luka loves it too. I’m now looking forward to the World Cup 2018, where the Aqualite screen will no doubt provide the backdrop to plenty of outdoor entertainment, and hopefully some success on the pitch!

Kim Menen the managing director of Aqualite Outdoor added, ‘Football is a sport that could have been invented specifically for television and everyone knows that watching the big game is always more fun with your friends.

It’s great to hear how much joy our customers get from the Aquaite range of all weather TV screens and we are thrilled with Luca and Steve’s feedback.

Our screens allow all of the great sporting events to be shared and enjoyed and have even been known to make Port Vale look like a good team.”

Aqualite Outdoor TV screens have anti glare film to create an anti reflective, clear and protective coating that reduces sun and snow glare and reflection for higher visibility outside in daylight

At the recent Midwich ‘Technology Exposed’ Showcase held at Ascot Race Course with over 80 AV manufacturers in attendance, Aqualite Outdoor decided that this would be an opportune time to show off their new anti reflective film and anti glare coating for outdoor LCD and LED TV advertising & digital signage screens, panels, monitors & displays

Aqualite Outdoor are manufacturers and trade distributors of specialist IP66 rated weatherproof outdoor TV screens. Kim Menen Director of Aqualite said ‘Whilst the Aqualite range of outdoor TV screens has 4 reflective coatings on both sides of the toughened glass, there will always be an element of glare in extremely high ambient light conditions. Outdoor environments can sometimes be especially bright and therefore cause unwanted reflection.’

Specially developed for Aqualite Outdoor the AQAR Film (Aqualite Anti-Reflective film) is easy to apply, 0.006mm thin and reduces glare by an incredible 65%. As well as having screen protection properties leaving no residue if removed.

Bryan Denyar Editor and Owner of the Trade publication AV News who watched a demonstration of the anti glare coating at the show commented that the film would be a great advantage to Education in high bright environments where glare is an issue.

With the 2014 World Cup in Brazil this summer, brighter times are on the way for pubs, bars and hotels with beer gardens in the UK. The scale of the business opportunity for regional and local breweries, pub chains and pub companies over the summer of 2014 shouldn’t be underestimated.

The hospitality sector has been hit by both a combination of poor trading conditions and the bad weather. This summer is the time to claw it back, and an outdoor screen will provide an additional attraction to customers and turns unproductive outdoor spaces into revenue generators.

Kim Menen of Aqualite Outdoor advises, “These great sporting events are a real boon for publicans and bar owners especially if they have outdoor smoking areas, beer gardens or terraces. By installing an outdoor TV owners can attract customers, boost trade and allow their customers to enjoy the World Cup football along with the good summer weather. ”

Ordinary indoor TV screens are not robust enough to withstand the damp, heat and dust and simply placing the screen in some form of weatherproof container or enclosure can hamper the picture quality or restrict viewing angles. The Aqualite range of outdoor display screens can withstand the extremes that a European summer can produce be it bad weather or good weather and also gives viewers the very best viewing experience.

Kim Menen explains that, “”A common problem with taking indoor TVs into direct sunlight is the affect on readability. Even indoors, I’m sure most people have experienced the annoyance of sun glare while watching TV at some point on a hot afternoon but the problem is many times worse outdoors. Whilst all the AquaLite Outdoor TV screens are coated 4 times with anti reflective coatings on both sides of the glass, glare can never be totally removed. So if you wish to remove even more glare for those extra bright sunny days then we have the answer. Removing unwanted glare by a further 65% the AqualIte Anti Reflective Film does the job nicely and can make the difference between viewers enjoying the game or staying at home to watch it there. “”
